Mrs. Leary's Cow: A Legend of Chicago by C. C. Hine presents a poetic retelling of one of the most infamous events in American history: the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. This meticulously prepared edition explores the enduring legend surrounding the fire's origin, focusing on the popular, though contested, narrative of Mrs. O'Leary's cow.

Hine's work offers a unique perspective on this pivotal moment in Chicago history. More than just a recounting of devastation, it delves into the folklore and speculation that arose in the fire's aftermath. Readers interested in Chicago history, urban disasters, and the power of historical narratives will find this volume a compelling and insightful look at a city's resilience in the face of overwhelming tragedy. This is an important historical document presented as narrative poetry.
